Our Story

Respect. Quality. Authenticity. We believe deeply in all of these values, and they are part of everything we do - from the places where we source products, to the way we treat our employees and our customers. We are all in this together, and knowing that brings respect to everything we do.

Spill the Beans started life in Grimsby on 31st May 1987, we started by selling dried goods direct from the importers. We sold fruit, nuts, rice and flours from the sack or box, just like a Victorian corner shop.  After three years of trading, we opened a more modern style of shop in St. Peters Avenue, Cleethorpes.  In 2000 we closed the Grimsby shop and ran as a single outlet from Cleethorpes until 2014 when we opened a second shop in the market town of Louth, Lincolnshire.  Over the years we've adapted, evolved and expanded, whilst remaining an independent family business.
